Ok, I have been playing with Samba for about a week now and its almost working perfect. Let me give you my setup:
Linksys router sharing Cable net b/n 3 boxes:
WIN98---is a win98 machine with a user/pass of WIN98/******
Rick---is a Win2k machine with a user/pass of rick420/*******
High-on-Linux.net---is my Mandrake 8.1 box (full domain name b/c thats my domain name and this box is also a mail server). I have user/passes exactly the same on here for WIN98, and rick420.
I did the smbpasswd -a for both users.
Now, from Mandrake I can get into the Win98 and Win2k shares no problem using Linneighborhood. But from Win2k or Win98 I cant get into my Linux share. I can see the box and its listed as High-on-Linux (no .net) and I can double click it and see the shared folder which I named Linux (its /home/rick420/Downloads) but when I click on it I get : Network Path \\High-on-Linux\Linux not found.
I cant figure out what I am doing wrong here. Any ideas?
Also the Win98 box has a shared printer called EPSON. I can see it thru Samba, but using the printtool in Mandrake theres no driver for it. Its an Epson Stylus C80. Can/How do I get it working thru samba. I read something about smbprint, but didnt really understand it. Thanks for any help!
